Rashmika Mandanna, the popular South Indian actress, has time and again left her fans impressed either by her acting skills or through her beauty. On the other hand, Yash is considered as a superstar in the South film industry.
Once an incident happened when Yash ignored the national crush. As per reports in Odisha TV, it all started when during an interview, Rashmika was asked to name one Sandalwood actor who is ‘Mr Showoff’ according to her. Though the Geetha Govindam actress at first tried to avoid the question, later she named Rocking Star Yash as Mr Showoff of the Kannada Film Industry.
However, such a statement didn’t go down well with fans of Yash. They brutally trolled the National Crush for calling their favourite actor Mr. Showoff. After facing the wrath of Yash’s fans, Rashmika posted an apology note on her Facebook handle.
Her post read: “I have no disrespect towards Yash Sir or anyone. In fact, on many occasions, I have expressed my admiration towards Yash Sir, his talent and how he has inspired everyone, including myself. The media has sadly ignored that I mentioned Santhu Straight Forward as the movie that I enjoyed most at that time. When you edit and take just two lines from the most non-serious part of the show and give it spin… the context is lost. That is really sad. It wasn’t a statement I made but it was a game of rapid-fire and never in my dreams I had any idea that this would be taken so seriously ignoring my admiration and all the positive statements I had made about him. I am sorry if I have hurt any of your feelings. I did not intend to. My upbringing will never let me do that. I request everyone to have a look on my other interviews and FB lives where I have appreciated Yash Sir’s work and when asked I have also expressed my desire to work with him.”
Later, Yash broke his silence over the controversial comment and penned down his reaction on Facebook for his followers. He posted: “I am just an actor who is looking forward to give you entertainment and gain respect and love from you people. I have made it a habit to ignore some stuff that do not pertain to me or that deem unnecessary to me. My fans love me and I cannot restrain myself from responding to their grief at their time of distress. I can never ever repay back the love my fans have given me and just for that sake, I will forever be indebted to you people. I do not know Rashmika Mandanna personally. We have neither met not spoken to each other. But that does not mean she cannot have an opinion about me. It is her opinion about me and I am requesting you all not to downgrade her opinion. Respect it, as I do.”
